The U.S. military said on Sunday that it had carried out three drone strikes in Somalia within 24 hours. The strikes targeted Islamic extremist groups al-Shabab and ISIS. A U.S. Africa Command spokeswoman told the AP that the strikes killed “several” militants. Somalia has seen a wave of terror attacks in recent weeks, including a truck explosion that was described as the country’s most deadly terror attack.
